Abstract

Si l’historiographie ne mentionne en général aucun commentaire des Actes des apôtres de la main de Raban Maur, deux manuscrits du xiie siècle attribuent à l’abbé de Fulda un ouvrage qui, en particulier à travers la Glose ordinaire dont il est une source majeure, irriguera abondamment toute l’exégèse médiévale du second livre de Luc. Si le commentaire semble bien contemporain de Raban, l’examen des sources utilisées, du texte biblique et du style ne semble guère rendre crédible cette attribution, pourtant seule attestée par les manuscrits. L’utilisation d’un texte biblique d’origine irlandaise et la connaissance précise du grammairien Donat mettent sur la piste de Sedulius Scottus, exégète carolingien irlandais installé sur le continent ; si de nombreux indices appuient cette hypothèse, aucune indication manuscrite ne vient la démontrer avec certitude.

Abstract

Although historiography does not generally mention any commentary of the Acts of the Apostles written by Raban Maur, two twelfth century manuscripts credit the Fulda abbot with a book that greatly contributed to the medieval exegesis of Luke’s second book, especially through the , that it largely inspired. If the commentary seems to be contemporary with Raban, however the sources used, the biblical text and the style tend to contradict this attribution, despite that it is the only one attested by manuscripts. The use of a biblical text of Irish origin and the precise knowledge of the grammarian Donatus suggest that it could have been written by Sedulius Scottus, a Carolingian Irish exegete settled on the Continent; and yet, although many hints point towards this hypothesis, no manuscript indication establishes it with certainty.
